Bittersweet.

My cynicism was proven wrong - Obama won.  Part of me wants to shout it from the rooftops.  Yes, I know he's not our president but as many have pointed out, what happens in the US affects the rest of the world.

However...

Proposition Hate.  At 10:40 Pacific time, the result was 52.5% in favor; 47.5% against.  It goes to show what you can do if you are a hate filled bigot with access to unlimited funds.  You can destroy the hopes of ordinary people.  You can undo the hard work of honest campaigners.  You can negate their day of celebration.  You can make them second class citizens, because God says so.  Even if you don't believe in God.

Bittersweet.

Meme Time!

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

 

Predictable?  Moi?
